Bend Shape

Is it possible to bed a rectangle in Photoshop 7.0?

I have searched and searched the internet but got nowhere.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance, Dave

I think it's easier to draw the rectangle already bent rather then trying to bend it (this sounded just like in "The Matrix": Do not try to bend the spoon .... )

yes but thats a problem for me, lol

i am trying to make a pipe, i have filled it with a gradient so it looks like a pipe but it seems to mess up (the gradient) when i have a quarter circle shape

its really annoying me

Draw a long, thin, horizontal rectangle with the Rectangle tool.

Color it how you want.

Go to Edit>Transform>Rotate 90 Degrees Clockwise

Go to Filter>Distort>Shear

Play with bending it to how you want.

Go back to Edit>Transform>Rotate 90 Degrees Counter-Clockwise.

And there you go. For a gradient affect, I'd use a gradient overlay. Right click the layer, and click Blending Options. The option is in that dialog.

Hope that's what you wanted...
